Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has strongly criticised the decision to award Sunderland a penalty in his side’s 2-0 victory on Saturday, calling it “unacceptable”. Despite the penalty save and his side’s victory, Arteta voiced his displeasure with the decision, telling TNT Sports: “(We won but) it could have been something very different. I am so upset. “(This) is unacceptable. This (decision) can change the course of a season, the championship, and it is not acceptable. I (have) seen it 10 times to make sure, and it’s not possible at this level that it can be a penalty. It just cannot happen. “In the view of anybody who has played football. I’ve been in football for almost 27 years, 28 years. It is not a penalty in any case, in any game, in any context, in any league. I am so pleased in one sense (with his team) and so worried in another.” More from @nnamdionye 🔗 nyti.ms/3Ttlav9
